Campaign Monitor enables users to create, send, and optimize email marketing campaigns.https://dudodiprj2sv7.cloudfront.net/product-logos/N0/tb/SLWFP1F049LB.jpegCampaign MonitorPretty Good, But Missing a Few Key Features2018-07-23T01:52:52.655ZCampaign Monitor is used solely by the marketing department to help support other departments within the organization. It helps us promote other department’s events, products, and services. We also use it for our content marketing newsletter that we send out twice a week.,Campaign Monitor’s support is great. They have a great help page built out to help answer all your questions, and if you do have a question or issue that needs extra support, their support team responds within a couple hours to help resolve the issue.
The email builder is very clean and easy to use. It makes A/B testing, personalization, and dynamic content easy to implement.
I appreciate the insights reporting that Campaign Monitor provides. We use that regularly for our quarterly reporting to track list growth, as well as campaign performance from a high level.
The automation is very straight forward and has truly transformed our marketing. The learning curve is pretty low, so my entire team knows how to use it to create and edit automated email journeys.,Campaign Monitor doesn’t have any native social sharing features. You have to go to a third party site in order to get the links for social sharing buttons as a work around. You also can’t edit the social cards in Campaign Monitor, so your emails can appear unformatted in the preview image when sharing on social.
There is no way to tell when other team members are working in an email Campaign in the email builder. This has been an issue for us on multiple occasions where two people are working in an email and someone’s work gets accidentally overrided. There is also no manual save feature, instead it auto saves. We’ve had issues with emails not getting saved correctly due to this.
Currently there is no way to organize your email campaigns. It would be helpful to have a folder feature so we could sort the different types of campaigns rather than searching through all archived campaigns.
I haven’t been impressed with our Customer Successs Managers. None of them have been helpful, and they tend to be pretty hands off. They only talk to us when I reach out to them and remind them that our account exists and we want support.,7,We have seen a small decrease in investment since switching to Campaign Monitor in terms of revenue. Our ROI for Q2 of 2018 was 2,869%. This isn’t drastically different than what we were getting with our previous provider, MailChimp, which was 3,497.77% for the year of 2017. We’ve been using Campaign Monitor for 7 months now, so we still need some more data to get an accurate comparison.
On the other hand, Campaign Monitor has helped us significantly with segmentation and targeting. This helps us achieve our business goals of better segmentation in our promos, and getting away from batch and blast. This also helps us decrease our list unsubscribes.
Campaign Monitor’s segmentation, personalization, and dynamic content features have helped us increase revenue for our quarterly product sales.

Campaign Monitor is helpful for a company that wants to take the next step to using a higher level email marketing service. It helps get you into automation, dynamic content, and more advanced segmentation. It’s a good step up for teams coming from MailChimp.

It’s not appropriate for companies who are wanting to send out content marketing emails with the intent of them being shared on social media. The social sharing is non existent and embarrassing.

We used it as our content editor, email notifications server, and even used the lists as our CRM at times depending on the customer and the implementation. The perfect API and resell ability are what made it the one for us.

Great for sending out app or store notification emails, subscription/newsletter emails, rss-driven emails. Great for reselling. Simple, takes little training of resell customers, yet still does it all.

Solving email marketing automation and updates back into SalesForce. Campaign Monitor (CM) allows us to send email without having to resort to using Outlook. Its always surprising to me how many businesses still use Outlook to send outbound marketing email.

While CM's email servers tend to not be as widely accepted by other businesses we market to, their support does do their best to help figure out what went wrong with hard bounces from blocked servers.

List/subscribers are easy to use and add/delete contacts from. Support is very good and responds quickly. Many plugins for other platforms.

I would also point out that the way that campaign stats are presented is not quite there as well. Would like some deeper dive ability to zoom in and out on a campaign.

If you have a large list you need to run through and validate, this is a good service. Pretty easy in import and export lists. Not too great for segmenting lists, there are better services that make it easier and more impactful.

We use Campaign Monitor for our recently set up e-mail marketing campaigns. Although we are new to e-mail marketing, it seems like great share (if not almost all) of our marketing resources we will be investing down this path.

I had been experimenting with different solutions to help me keep in touch with my customers. Campaign Monitor was the most professional looking--both on the backend as well as the available email templates and options. The templates are highly customizable, and unlike other "similar" products, these templates were built correctly without any need to modify the code (even though it's pretty easy to do that as well).

I don't have a large list, so this works well for me. However those with large lists might be put off by the way that the import feature works, or by the huge difference in the pricing structure. All in all, it is a really great product, and I plan on sticking with it.

We use Campaign Monitor as a email marketing and automation solution in our office for our own marketing projects. We have also implemented it for many of our clients. It provides a good interface for email design, list management, and automation tools to incorporate with our marketing campaigns and for use in our funnels.

It's an easy-to-use interface that works well for self-service clients and solopreneurs looking to keep in touch with their customers. For more robust automations and triggers, it would be better to look into options like Active Campaign, Infusionsoft, or even MailChimp. Though there can be a significant price difference between those types of services.

We use campaign monitor to run all of our email marketing, drip campaigns and newsletters both internal and external. We use it in the marketing department, but we utilize it for campaign across multiple divisions in the company. It solves the problem of having visually appealing emails to send out as well as managing our emails lists.

The platform is robust and should fit almost any business or setup based on your needs. I have used it for as small as single emails and newsletters and it can be used all the way up to building custom journeys with triggers and everything in between. If you are not a designer and do not know any code this platform has a decent amount of pre-made template to use. The cost based on your email list is very competitive with the other competitors in the market. I personally did not like to use it for our transaction emails, but the platform is capable of doing this feature. I use Send Grid for this service instead.

We use CM in the Marketing department - only one user at the moment. We use it for email marketing but also some list management and lead generation/list collection. As an email marketing tool, we can track email activity (opens, clicks) and also contact viability (bounces, etc) to ensure we have a clean and updated list.

Contact management needs some serious work - it is list based so every contact (unique or NOT) is counted towards your allotment. To me this delineates this product from being a CRM - they really should have contact records and different list memberships. This also skews the way people are billed probably so you have to keep an eye out on this.

Lists and segmentation need a lot of back work and setting up to use. You have to assign characteristics to contacts when they are uploaded so if you have to plan ahead strategically on how your future lists will look.

Although their email designer is very easy to use, sometimes I wish there was a bit more flexibility in customization.

It's a perfectly adequate email sending tool for basic campaigns. Our Salesforce integration was a bit borky with it and I mentioned that the contact management and list/segmentation tools aren't great for a more sophisticated/mature digital marketing operation. If you want to sent some basic campaigns with good data visibility, this is a good fit for you. But if you are at all thinking about automation, I'd leapfrog into those tools rather than this one (forms, lead generation, CRM integration, dynamic lists).

We have been using campaign monitor to deploy email marketing campaigns for our new subscriber and client of our software. We find it works really well, great insights and decent templates. It's pricey and we are trying to figure out the value of the service vs. other competitors. We will be evaluating other competitors.

In my previous role I worked for a marketing agency. We used Campaign Monitor (CM) for basic email marketing campaigns. It was very easy to use and give customer access to for managing, executing, and tracking campaigns overall. CM addressed the need for an email marketing tool that has general ease of use and is self services for our clients.

I think for an email marketing tool, Campaign Monitor is spot on. It does what you need it to do and is very easy to use. If you want basic outbound email marketing overall this is the tool to use. I like it much more than other email tools out there. It is less appropriate when you need a more robust inbound solution.

We use Campaign Monitor to send out targeted emails to staff, monthly eNewsletters to stakeholders of our hospital and research updates from our research department. The application is used across the entire organization by a select few communication coordinators. It addresses the need for sending out professional, templated emails both internally and externally, while providing analytics and tracking statistics.

An HTML editing mode would be welcome, as the templates are currently very restrictive. While this is a good thing for people who don't have a coding or web design background, it severely limits the customizability.

Whitelisting seems to be an issue for some organizations, although this is likely also a function of the IT departments of those organizations.

While creating emails from a pre-made template is easy, if they wanted to totally remove the coding aspect, they could've implemented a WYSIWYG or drag-and-drop editor.

Campaign Monitor is suited to cases where the emails that you send are heavily templated, and will not deviate much from that template. We use it primarily for internal communications to staff as opposed to sending an Outlook email, as it provides us with stats on open rate, clickthrough, etc. It is less appropriate for cases where you anticipate a lot of deviation between email communications and would rather have full control over the look and feel of the email.
